Burn mp3's to DVD. Help!!!

I record Bible lectures for my Mom to listen to. If I continuously record I will split the tracts up, using audacity, into various talks and save as mp3's. They import into iTunes just fine and I can even burn them to CD's for her to use.
My problem is that she is older and has no computer, and does not want to learn anything else other than if they will work in her DVD player. The CD's work just fine, but it takes quite a lot some times. I have tried to burn them to a DVD, but it will not work.
Her player does read mp3's, even from the CD's I have burned in the past. I was hoping to get them all on 1 or 2 DVD's instead of the multiple CD's that it is taking now.
Is there a suggestion as to what I can use to get the mp3's onto a DVD that will work? I have used several setting within iTunes but so far I have not been successful.
Thanks for everyones help.

Use iTunes.
Do it as you normally burn an MP3 CD except select Data CD/DVD.
Make sure you add only MP3 files to this playlist.

Burning MP3's on DVD

Has anyone successfully burned MP3's on a DVD and were able to play them back on a regular set-top DVD player that claims to be able to play MP3's?

You can burn an mp3 DVD with Toast but it is an audio-only disc. In my case, I can't play an mp3 DVD on my DVD player.
You also can burn a "music DVD" with Toast 7 (or with Toast 6 if you also have Jam 6 - but it's features aren't as good). In this case the audio must be converted either to 48 khz LPCM (which is uncompressed like AIFF) or to 48 khz AC-3. Those are the audio formats that meet the video DVD spec. What's happening here is Toast is creating a video DVD that is all audio except for the thumbnail images and menus that display on the TV. By the way, the thumbnail graphic is the album art you have connected to the track in iTunes. You can change this in Toast. AC-3 likely will be smaller, not larger, than your MP3 files. However, Toast 7 gives you the option to set higher or lower bitrates for the AC-3 encoding.
I haven't yet created one of these in Toast 7. But in Toast 6 I did encounter some difficulty with some MP3 conversions. Toast would simply stall while trying to convert some tracks. Apparently there were defects in the file that weren't audible to me when playing from iTunes. I identified which tracks were the problem ones and used iTunes to create and AIFF copy. Replacing the mp3 with the AIFF fixed the issue.
I'm mentioning this because it does take time to create one of these music DVDs.

Burn MP3 CD problem, need help can't burn most songs

I have copied many of my music CD's into my computer and imported them into itunes. Works great on my ipod. However my car has a MP3 CD player. So I have been trying to burn MP3 CD's for the car. Followed the instructions in itunes. But here is the catch. Only about 10% of my music actually burns to the disk out my my selecetd play list. The disk is mostly empty. I realize that itunes purchased music can't be burned, but most of my old CD can't be burned either. Soemthing is wrong. Wrong format? I just load a music CD and click the import CD button. Realy easy to import. But can't burn it in MP3. Appreciate any help.

The files are most likely imported as AAC (iTunes default).
When you select to burn an MP3 CD, iTunes will only burn those files that are already in MP3 format. It will not convert them as it burns.
You need convert them first to MP3, create a playlist with these MP3 files and burn it.

Burning MP3 files to DVD

I have both a Compaq and a MacBook. My iTunes library is on my Compaq wiht Windows XP. I want to transfer the files to the Mac. I tried a PC Linq program which didn't work and my Compaq doesn't have a firewire port. Can I burn the library to DVD and transfer it that way or does it have to be CD? It is rather large and I'm looking for the easiest, fastest, and cheapest way possible.

DVD is fine. (use the "burn data CD" option even though it's a data DVD you'll be making.)

Burning QuickTime files to DVD--help!

Hi--I use my Kodak camera to take QuickTime video. I've got all of my videos edited and saved onto CDs, so there is no problem viewing them from my computer using the QuickTime player.
I'd like to burn these to DVD to share with family. I've downloaded a couple of freeware programs that convert them to .VOB files without any problem (winavi and dvdsanta both seemed to do the job just fine).
So...can anyone recommend a good, cheap DVD burner so I can burn the files? Also, the whole +/- RW thing is a mystery to me. I'm afraid that I'll end up buying a burner, only to make DVDs that don't play on my TV (this has already happened to a friend of mine.) How do I know what format to use?
If anyone can advise I'd be very grateful. Thank you!!

I'm fairly sure that a bootable DVD has to be specially constructed for this purpose, as is the case for a Mac OS X install disc and for various commercial products. You can't just install OS X onto a partition, clone an image of it and burn the image to a DVD, and then successfully boot from the DVD. When a "normal" version of OS X boots, it needs to write to its startup volume to create needed caches, swap files, configuration files, etc. It could not do so if the startup volume is read-only, as would be the case for a DVD.

It seems media_db is corrupted in your machine. Media_db.db file contains important information for installers and its information is required. The only resolution is to run cleanup scripts and to use the clean all solution, then do a fresh installation of the products.

I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop. Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD. My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD. Thanks for any help.

I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it. Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD. Is there something out there to help me do this. I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.

They are DVDs with video files from a little more than 2 GB per file, were burned in Snow Leopard, with UDF file system, now that I updated to Mavericks when I try to read disks displays the directory in the finder a moment and then disappear and does not display them show them more. It is impossible to read the discs, but only those who were burned with UDF file system. Thank you for your help.

It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.

Your Superdrive may need a clean.

You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

ANY way to burn MP3 CDs/DVDs with folders on iTunes??

Hey all, so I was trying to backup my mp3 collection onto a burned DVD or two (it's pretty big), but that could still play them when I put it into my computer now and then.
iTunes has always been pretty good about burning MP3 discs that'll easily play in your computer (I haven't yet tried burning a DVD as an MP3 disc, but I've heard they work the same). However, the one drawback about it that I see is that the MP3 discs don't really separate the actually albums/songs on the disc when you try opening it on the desktop into actual folders by album/artist/etc., they're all just kind of cluttered together (so if you wanna recopy/reburn an individual album off an MP3 disc back to your computer, you've got to do a Show File in Finder on iTunes and hunt & drag 'em in the Finder, as opposed to just having one folder that you can drag back onto the desktop, Toast, etc.) And that's just with one 650-700 MB CDR; if you're dealing with 4.7 GIGS of music, you can see how it'd be a pain to organize and keep track of).
I know that for PC, Windows Media Player can find any play data CDs with music on them pretty easily. Is there a similar player for Mac users??
I hate to ask about other programs on an iTunes forum, but maybe you guys can relate to this problem, have found ways to deal with it (in the past I've just color-labeled the songs according to album so I can visually see which songs go with which on the Finder, but again, you can see how that'd be a pain to do w/ 4.7 GBs worth). Thanks.

Sort the playlist by Album and Burn and the DVD will be in Album folders.
Sort by Artist and Burn and the DVD will be in Artist/Album folders.
